Capturing Students!

The use of digital recording in Higher Education Kevin Henshaw FoHSC

Examples of Digital Technology

• Talking Heads (Uskov 2005, Gladwell 2005)
• Video and audio archive resources-on line libraries, AR
• Animated screen shots-TechSmith, Camtasia and Macromedia

Captivate to record and edit animated screenshots (Carl Simmons, CMIST)

• Instructional 'how to videos‘- BBC “Good Shooting Guide” (2005)

negates need for linear narrative ie case studies

• Interviewing an expert -Articulate, i Spring (Wallace and Donald,

2006)

• Video blogs 'think aloud‘- informal personal reflection
• Students create their own video - short videos by students

for projects or portfolios i.e. group work, projects (Allam, 2006)

• Videoing real events in situ – reflection, field trips,

Presentation/performance skills and feedback Class watch (Millar, 2005, Strathie 2006 )

• Video case studies/simulations/role plays – Social Workers

‘Clydestown’ (West and Donald, 2006), experiment with different responses to behaviours, SIM, dangerous lab experiments

What about feedback? Does your assessment support your students’ learning? (Gibbs & Simpson, 2004) Written feedback for students: too much, too detailed or too incomprehensible to be effective? (Glower, & Brown,2006) Writing, commenting and revising: The relationship between teacher feedback and student revision online. (Golstien & Kohls, 2002)

Why record?

• Robust assessment
• Aids quality assurance
• Promotes active learning
• Increases student engagement (Constructivist)
• ‘Untapped pedagogical potential’ (Fee & Fee, 2003)
• Can be ‘Constructively aligned’ (Biggs, 1996)
• Experiential Learning (Vygotsky, 1934)
• Contribute to an e-portfolio
• Self assessment (student & Teacher)
• Peer assessment (distance or F2F)
• PDP development

WHY Not?

• Difficult to control digital information
• Non compliant students
• Self consciousness
• Hawthorne effect (Franke and Kaul,1978)
• Data storage
• Data protection
• Equipment failure
• Equipment availability
• Teaching colleagues/protocols
• Where in the curriculum ?

The set up:

What we did

• Wanted to create a facility for formative assessment and feedback:

Feedback issues

• Turn it in
• Blackboard
• E Share
• YouTube
• Camstudio
• Group feedback

The Goal (Individual feedback)

• Voice over with written feedback
• Any platform
• Formative & Summative
• Viva Voce (audio only)

PANOPTO!!!

• Simulated exercise
• Lecture capture
• Assignment advise (FAQs)
• Written & Audio feedback

Learning and Teaching Strategy (EHU)

• high-quality teaching and learning, tailored assessment, and

guidance and support for students

• keeping abreast of innovation in teaching, learning and

assessment and systematic dissemination of good practice within the University

• learning support that recognises the diverse needs of students

(SpLD)

• a strong emphasis on pastoral and academic support
• regular observation of teaching
• the expectation that new and existing teaching staff engage fully in

professional development

What they said:

• ‘Thank you that's brilliant., i had perfect access to the video this

time, and i can see exactly where i went wrong. Its a good feedback system, and hopefully it will prevent me making the same mistakes again in the real osce exam.’ Student A

• sorry I've only just got your email. I've just watched the video

and it was very useful although I find it very embarrassing watching myself back! Hugely appreciated! Student B

• I think the eshare video is a useful tool for learning. Continuing

commentary would be useful throughout the scenario if there was anything which needed particular attention. Student C

• So hard to watch yourself but really useful as I can see where I was

going wrong and also I can write a reflection on my actions. Thank you Student D
